Transmog is a favorite topic among Wowhead users so we rounded up all the interesting armor updates coming soon in 7.1.5 including new shirts, more items to fill out Tier 19 appearances, and old-school Blacksmithing weapons.

In today's news round up, we found some big changes to blacksmithing on the 5.2 PTR! Blizzard is also conducting a ton of raid testing this week, for which we have a preview video, and launched a Patch 5.2 Under Development site that has information on the new raid, world bosses, factions, and PvP changes.

If you always wanted to craft iconic Blacksmithing weapons like Stormherald or Drakefist Hammer but didn't learn the plans prior to Cataclysm, it looks like you'll be able to create replica weapons in Patch 5.2 like Fireguard, Reborn!

In the last PTR build, we datamined new blacksmithing plans that were named after distinctive weapons from the Burning Crusade. These BoP weapons were only craftable by Weaponsmiths, and when specializations were removed in Cataclysm, players were no longer able to learn these plans. In addition, players couldn't learn all the weapons in Burning Crusade even if they were Weaponsmiths because there were further weapon subsets, such as Master Hammersmith.

Blizzard has already told us that there will be a special Lightning Forge on the Isle of Thunder, which wi
